The builder of the castle, which still exists today, was Jakob von Gültlingen (d. 1600). A stone on the ground floor bearing the date 1592 likely marks the start of construction. In order to begin the prestigious new construction of his family residence, he had to take on significant debt. In 1592, he also asked his sovereign for permission to pledge the village of Deufringen as collateral to a lender for 12 years. In his letter, he lamented the dilapidated condition of the old half-timbered building his ancestors had erected there, which clearly no longer met his standards for a residence befitting his status. Elsewhere, for example, in Mauren (1617), Mötzingen (from c. 1581-83), and Poltringen, the local nobility also invested in new, modern family residences. Source: Zeitreise BB

The castle was restored in 2009-2011 and houses the Dätzinger Local History Museum. In the castle courtyard there is a mighty sequoia tree and several small round fountains

Very nice way up to Zavelstein Castle

Deufringen Castle, also known as Gültlingen Castle or Gültling'sches Schloss, is located in the Deufringen district of the municipality of Aidlingen

The viewing platform is located on top of the former powder tower. Here you have the best overview of Herrenberg and the Gäu.

The Order of St. John acquired the village of Dätzingen in the 13th century. As early as 1263, a brother house was mentioned in a document in place of today's castle. Suspected, but not certain, is a water castle as the medieval predecessor building. The first palace buildings were built in 1607. At that time the place came into the possession of the Order of Malta. The castle was expanded to today's four-wing complex in 1733. In the 18th century, the commander's domicile was in the castle. After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the place was assigned to the Kingdom of Württemberg. Count Carl Ludwig von Dillen came into possession of the palace in 1810 as a gift from King Friedrich I. Changes made by the court architect Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret, especially the portico from 1810 to 1812, resulted in the current appearance. The building came into the possession of the Grafenau community in 1961. Today the castle houses the local history museum, a gallery, an auction house and an antiquarian bookshop.
